Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5

(5) The Hong Kong Convention provides ~~explicitly~~ for its Parties to be able to take more stringent measures consistent with international law, with respect to the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships, in order to prevent, reduce or minimise any adverse effects on human health and the environment. The establishment of a European list of ship recycling facilities fulfilling the requirements set out in this Regulation would contribute to that objective as well as to better enforcement by facilitating the flag states’ control of ships going for recycling. Those requirements for ship recycling facilities should be based on the requirements of the Hong Kong Convention.
